In a significant development for global cybersecurity, India has been granted access to Mythos, one of the world’s most advanced Artificial Intelligence-powered cybersecurity models developed by AI company Anthropic.

The move comes as Anthropic expands its cybersecurity initiative, Project Glasswing, beyond the United States and the United Kingdom, allowing selected organisations across more than 15 countries to use the powerful AI system to identify and fix software vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by cybercriminals.

What Is Mythos?

Mythos is a specialised AI model designed to detect cybersecurity weaknesses in software systems, codebases, and critical digital infrastructure.

Unlike conventional cybersecurity tools, Mythos can analyse large volumes of code and identify vulnerabilities that could potentially be overlooked by human teams.

Anthropic has previously described the technology as so powerful that unrestricted public access could create security risks if misused by malicious actors.

Because of these concerns, access to the model has been tightly controlled since its launch.

India Joins an Exclusive Global Group

India is among the countries newly included in Anthropic’s expanded Project Glasswing initiative.

The expansion also grants access to several major economies and technology leaders, including:

• Canada
• Australia
• New Zealand
• France
• Germany
• Italy
• Switzerland
• Netherlands
• Spain
• Belgium
• Sweden
• Japan
• South Korea

In addition, the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) has also been granted access to the platform.

The inclusion of India highlights the country’s growing importance in global technology, cybersecurity, and digital infrastructure initiatives.

Major Global Organisations Join the Program

Anthropic has expanded access to several high-profile organisations that manage critical infrastructure and digital systems.

New participants include:

• Okta
• Samsung Electronics
• SK Hynix
• SK Telecom
• SWIFT
• Euroclear
• Intercontinental Exchange
• European Union Agency for Cybersecurity

The latest expansion also includes organisations operating in:

• Financial services
• Cybersecurity
• Healthcare
• Communications
• Power infrastructure
• Water utilities
• Hardware technology

Why Anthropic Is Expanding Access

According to Anthropic, organisations selected for Project Glasswing share one common characteristic: a successful cyberattack on their systems could have catastrophic consequences.

The company estimates that many participating organisations provide services that impact more than 100 million people, making cybersecurity a matter of national and global importance.

By giving trusted organisations access to Mythos, Anthropic hopes to strengthen cyber defences before vulnerabilities can be exploited by attackers.

The company also plans to further expand the initiative by including:

• Critical infrastructure providers
• Open-source software maintainers
• Security testing organisations
• Public-interest technology institutions

Why This Matters for India

India’s inclusion in Project Glasswing comes at a time when cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated and frequent.

As the country continues expanding:

• Digital public infrastructure
• Financial technology systems
• Government digital services
• Smart city initiatives
• AI-driven platforms

the need for advanced cybersecurity capabilities is becoming more critical than ever.

Access to cutting-edge AI security tools such as Mythos could help organisations strengthen defences, identify vulnerabilities faster, and improve resilience against emerging cyber threats.

The Growing Role of AI in Cybersecurity

The expansion of Mythos also signals a broader trend within the cybersecurity industry.

AI is no longer being used only for automation and productivity, it is increasingly becoming a frontline defence tool against cybercrime.

Advanced AI models can:

• Analyse massive codebases
• Detect hidden vulnerabilities
• Predict potential attack paths
• Accelerate security patching
• Improve threat intelligence

As cyberattacks grow more complex, experts believe AI-powered cybersecurity systems will become essential for protecting critical infrastructure worldwide.

With India now joining Project Glasswing, the country gains access to one of the most advanced cybersecurity AI initiatives currently available—further strengthening its position in the rapidly evolving global digital ecosystem.
